Headcanon time!
How do they act when they're sick?
Peppino: Stoic. Won't admit he's sick. If he's not vomiting, he won't stay home. Pushes himself through it. "Be a man, die at work" kind of mindset. Gustavo has to yell at him before he'll go home. Ends up sleeping 12 hours.
Gustavo: Stays home and takes care of himself like the average person would. Lots of sleep, hot tea, and chicken soup. Gets lots of rest. Occasionally buys nasal spray so he can breathe through his nose.
Mr. Stick: Googles his symptoms and convinces himself that he's dying. Cries. Lays in bed and embraces it. Doesn't die. Goes out and buys nyquil. Sleeps it off for the most part. Gets a little snippy.
Pepperman: Tries to hide it but fails. Has a coughing fit that echoes through the whole tower. Can't even find the energy to paint. He usually troops it out but might take something to help.
The Vigilante: Panics at first, thinks his old age is catching up to him (he isn't even THAT old). Once he realizes he's not dying, he nurses it with old fashioned remedies. Steam and hot tea.
The Noise: Tries to be stoic at first but fails. Sniffles, sneezes, and coughs every two seconds. Noisette has to force him to stay in bed. Insists he can take care of himself and tries, but Noisette takes over (he secretly loves being babied). Sleeps it off. Can be a bit crabby.
Noisette: Super big drama queen when she's sick. Can't stand being sick, absolutely hates it. Gets pretty cranky and cries a couple times. Noise cares for her as she will refuse to leave bed. He tries to stick to good remedies but gets suckered into giving her whatever she wants;
"Can I please have some ice cream?"
"I think you should have something healthy-"
"BUT I DON'T FEEL GOOOOOD!!"
"OKAY, okay, I'll get you some ice cream."
Fake Peppino: Is immune to most illnesses and diseases. Doesn't seem to understand them, either. Gets worried when someone is sick, immediately thinks they're dying. Cries.
Pizzahead: BIGGEST. DRAMA QUEEN. EVER. He doesn't need to Google his symptoms to convince himself that he's dying. He gets the slightest sniffle and starts writing his will (he usually leaves everything to his ghost). Stays in bed and chooses one of the bosses or Gerome to take care of him. Gets super cranky and nasty.
Pillar John: One of those guys that rarely gets sick. You could inject him with a virus, and he still wouldn't get sick. When he is sick, it's so minor that he doesn't even realize it. He gets a sniffle and thinks it's just allergies.
Gerome: A lot like John, he hardly ever gets sick. He's generally a clean guy with a good immune system. If he gets sick, it only lasts a day if not a few hours.

So anyway i made a pizza tower oc/self insert/fanchild?? Technically?? If you squint.....
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Their name's Ziti and they're Peppino and Gustavo's adopted "kid" (they're around 16). If you saw this post before, i aged them down a bit and changed/got rid of a few other things.
Anyway, some info about them below
I'm still too lazy to put all this into sentences and in an order that makes sense so here's a bigass list
They were adopted by Peppino and Gustavo after the tower fell
Used to work in the tower in the background, probably in a computer room. There was never much work there so they often fell asleep or doodled on the side. When there was work it was very stressful for them and they were easily overwhelmed. They never took days off cause they felt they didn't deserve to. Still, they desperately need a break (more on that in the backstory post)
Very anxious, but unlike Peppino, their anxiety does not turn into rage, just more anxiety and later on extreme tiredness. They're always tired tbh
Likes goofing around with Gustavo. He's the slightly sillier dad, while Peppino is slightly more caring and comforting (he can relate to the trans struggles. We love trans Peppino in this house). Of course, they're both caring and silly and great dads and love their kid very much
Random headcanon that Gustavo likes picking up people as a sign that he likes them a lot, and you know he often does that to Ziti (and Peppino lol)
Absolutely cannot cook, they WILL burn the kitchen down while trying to boil water. Please for the love of pizza do NOT let them near any kitchen. Peppino is honestly amazed by how bad someone's cooking skills can be (he says they're worse than Maurice's, which is saying a lot)
Not used to physical affection, at first only cuddles with Brick. Touch starved as hell.
Fakey is kinda like a mix between a best friend, a big brother, and a weird pet to them. It's weird at first, seeing how he resembles one of their dads so much, but they eventually get used to it
An awkward piece of ham™, but there's a silly goofy goober under all that anxiety
They always put other's needs in front of theirs, resulting in them neglecting their own needs because they're "not important enough" in their mind.
Always tries doing things on their own because they don't like bothering others, even if they know they can't do it alone. Will not actively ask for help but will reluctantly accept it when offered.
Giving gifts is their love language. Gives gifts randomly whenever they find something, but still feels bad when they don't have a gift on a special day (birthdays, Christmas, etc), or if they think their gift is lame
They're very forgetful, but they do remember tiny things nobody cares about. Will forget your birthday, but remembers that they once saw a frog jump directly into water and exactly how the resulting splash looked. This has no significance to anything at all, but they do remember it!
No fashion sense. At all. I mean look at them. Bland white ass. (No wonder tbh if you know where they come from)
Very pale, often got called a vampire or zombie when they were younger. Peppino and Gustavo sometimes lovingly refer to them as their little Mozzarella (despite both of them being smaller than Ziti)
Lastly, they're strangely obsessed with Noisette's cooking. Their favorite is her peanut butter spaghetti. Never gets sick from any of her food. They're not picky is all I'm saying. (Kinda explained in the backstory post)

Broken
Summary: Peppino sleeps better with you. Even his night terrors are -slightly- more manageable. Today isn't one of those days. Fortunately you're here to remind him everything will be ok.
Contents: Established relationship, waking up from a nightmare, Angst, Self doubt, Comfort and Fluff end, Kissing.
Peppino didn't know why you bothered with him.
This was the third time this week. Currently he had his face buried into your neck. His breathing turned ragged. In response you pull him tighter into your arms, shielding him from the rest of the world. You whisper reassuring words and phrases while gently stroking his back.
"It's going to be okay. Deep breaths. You’re with me. You're safe." You comfort him, feeling a dampness against your skin. Both arms wrap around you in a shaky embrace.
Peppino didn't want to think, let alone talk about it. Everything felt real. Too real. Horrific visuals burned into his memory. It was like he had been forced back to that place, to that time. He drew in a sharp breath in an attempt to get his breathing under control. Focus on you. Listen to your voice.
He felt guilty for always waking you up when this happened. If he could help it, Peppino would rather suffer in silence than you see him like this. Despite ruining your sleep (again), you always remained by his side.
Peppino slept much better with you, and the amount of nightmares he had lessened since you had moved in together. Granted, today was not one of those days.
In some ways, this was the same sick feeling he used to get before you came into his life. He would snap awake in a cold sweat, a mixture of fear and grief gnawing at his mind. Now those feelings had mingled with guilt and shame.
Wouldn't you get worn down from this routine eventually? He didn't know why you'd want to stick around and deal with this for, realistically, the rest of your life.
He felt broken.
Hearing him whisper that, it made your heart hurt. You wished he could see himself the way you did.
As Peppino pulls his face away from your neck, you can feel the sadness radiating off of him. You touch your forehead to his as silence hangs in the air. Your fingers comb tenderly through the hair on the back of his head. Everyone is broken in some way, that doesn't mean they're unworthy of love. While you don't know what happened in his past, and you know it must've been awful, you still love him.
You tell Peppino you love him for who he is, not some idealized version. Not your idea of who he could be. You love him as the person before you, right here.
He grabbed your face with both hands to kiss you, pouring his entire being into it. The kiss felt like every word he wasn't able bring himself to vocalize.
It was a “Please don’t leave me. Please don’t let me be alone again. Please tell me you'll stay. That you'll love me forever. And I promise that I’ll love you forever. No matter what”. It was a silent plea, begging you to stay.
You clasp the nape of his neck, tugging his head forward to reciprocate that passion with your own kiss, your reply.
(This was my first attempt at a more angsty theme, I've never done one, apologies if it flows weird or out of place🙏)

I can’t take anymore flirting w Peppino 😭 can we please just have mercy and ask him out… bonus if it’s in a cute way like a love letter or bouquet of roses 🥹💕
You have a key to the pizzeria, and subsequently Peppino’s home. And you only uses it for good, locking up for him, coming in to bring him things if he’s sick, but you also have some nefarious plans of deviousness within your head.
Peppino finds your gift on the front counter. It’s hard to miss a large vase of roses, bright red and tied with a bow. He blusters, embarrassed despite being alone. But still, he approaches, marveling the soft beauty of the fragile blooms.
And once close, he sees the white envelope, sealed with a heart sticker.
Peppino blushes. Who did this? He worries someone broke in, but the front door is still locked tight. He’s the only one with a key as well. Well, him, Gustavo, and. . . you.
Peppino frantically grabs for the letter, tearing it over to find your pretty handwriting scrawled across. It’s a long letter, filled with anecdotes and sweet compliments for Peppino. He blushes more and more as he reads it, knees almost buckling as he swoons.
You really think he’s handsome? And strong? And kind? And funny? And everything?
You. . . want to date?
Peppino rushes back upstairs. He throws himself into the bedroom, curling up on his bed as he struggles to breathe for a moment. None of this feels real. He worries it’s a prank by the Noise or someone, but he knows your handwriting. This letter he’s clutching to his chest is from you.
And you love him. As much as he loves you, probably.
It takes time, breathing exercises and careful thought for the reality to sink in, heavy and warm. You love him. You love Peppino, even with all his flaws and tics. You love him, he loves you, and now. . .
Peppino chews on his thumb, reading over how you’ll be by for lunch, and for his response to your confession.
He needs to get ready! Peppino needs to ready you a meal that’s fit for royalty! Something to show you how your choice wasn’t a mistake. He’ll prove himself a good partner to you, even if it kills him.
And who knows! Maybe you’ll reward him with a kiss.

How about mr stick headcanons
Ohhhh you've opened the floodgates. Hcs under the cut (half of these are just me projecting tho). Also trying not to go over headcanons I've already done but I may retread old group on accident
he's like, mid-late 40s. A bit younger than Peppino and Gustavo but not by too much.
His bad eyesight isn't genetic. When he was a kid he whacked his head a bit too hard and his eyesight went all fucky. It got worse overtime until he was in his 20's. He's shortsighted.
He also has hand tremors cause from the same accident. They get worse when he's tired or upset but are usually very manageable. He's got a real "fuck it we ball" attitude about the whole brain damage thing
He ONLY wears expensive suits and shit. They are all orange. He will not be seen in anything else even for a quick supermarket run.
Despite living in the most insane apartment known to man and having lots of Road Blocks in his life, he's actually really happy with where he is. He never really had a goal in life and he's just taking everything one day at a time.
Really temperature sensitive. Too hot? He'll be whining about the sun giving him a headache. Too cold? He'll be complaining about getting sick or having his big ass nose freeze off.
He loves being compressed. It sounds weird but like he has several weighted blankets and he'll pile them all on top of one another and climb underneath he just likes feeling like he's being crushed between tectonic plates
He's gay but SOOOOOOO in denial it's crazy. Everyone knows he's gay apart from himself and it's hilarious.
Would fuck up the most simple recipe ever. He can't even cook toast without setting the whole apartment alight
Adding onto that. He's very unlucky in general. He's been struck by lightning so many times he's built up an immunity (cartoon logic). When you're hanging out with him you're gonna need several lucky charms to survive. It's like Milo Murphy's law did y'all see that show where the guy was voiced by weird al
IM GOING TO GET SOO MUCH SHIT FOR THIS BUT I feel like he'd like Lemon Demon. Specifically his older albums like hip to the javabean. He seems like the type of guy to like oingo boingo and shit noone understands him like I do apart from Olympe
He's usually the designated driver for the pizza tower crew because Peppino's too anxious to drive and Gustavo is such a reckless driver it's actually laughable. He DOES have his own car but it only works half the time and has several 'interesting' repairs and add-ons. (There is a whole ass fireplace in the back for heating)
He's actually the dude who helped design the don't make a sound animatronics bc he's the inventor guy. He sold them to pizzahead because they kept trying to kill him but didn't know they were used against Peppino
THIS DUDE HAS LOW IRON if he stands up too fast he will crumple in a heap on the floor and ppl think he's dead but it just. Happens. If you have low iron you get it. Also being a tall ass motherfucker doesn't work in his favor it makes the whole thing even worse (he thinks it's funny to lay out and act like a sickly victorian woman while recovering though)
THAT'S IT FOR NOW IM GETTING TIRED. goot night

Persona 5: Blast Tower Scramble
You can thank this post I stumbled upon for the further ramped up version of 'Peppino being P5 Joker's Dad. Going to get my hand on Antonblast once it comes out so there might be more whacky stuff. Enjoy.
This is similar to my original post but Peppino Spaghetti AND Anton Blast are Ren's parents. I won't go into details about how our boy is born other than it was unexpected with a side of cartoon nonsense. Universe figured might as drop a kid on them like a eldritch troll. Also considering Anton's design is partly based on Oni Masks, there is a personal headcanon that he has some Japanese heritage.
The two definitely had quite an interesting time when it came to raising Ren B(last) Spaghetti. Moles somehow joined the list of animal friends much to Anton's despair. Do know he was an exterminator at the time and the underground dwellers love to mess with him on the job.
Kid Ren said 'Too bad' so Anton has to be friendly to his son's three moles: Chomp, Scratch and A.B (short for Ankle Biter). Peppino was chuckling at the irony in the background cause his husband teased him about the rats/mice/raccoons. Maxxie, Anton's dog, doesn't really care much. Ren is like a Disney Princess but the kind who would sick his animal friends on someone.
Annie is the chaotic aunt to go with Gustavo's responsible uncle schtick. Half of the money in the swear jar is from her. (Anton makes up 38% while Peppino gets the remaining 12%.) She absolutely gave him a small hammer as a little kid and encourage him to whack his Pops Anton on the toes a few times. Or gave Ren enough sugar so he will torture his parents with a sugar rush later before babysitting time is up.
There is going to be further differences with Ren thanks to this change in parents. He looks the same as a human but in toon form, his skin is sheer lobster red. The group honestly thought Ren and his dad were Tengus for a hot second. Both are mischievously destructive after all.
I'm also in the group that supports Anton being demonic headcanon so guess whose half demon! Ren's demon nature had remained dormant for most his life as he never gotten into a situation to flare it awake. Well not for long thanks to Kaneshiro's Palace!
Ren was already feeling shitty and stressed at this point. The Palace of Avarice further eggs him on since Oni type Shadows are a common enemy throughout it so they are extra hostile in a territorial manner to him. Piggytron boss is what breaks the camel's back though.
Ren's demon form definitely takes after how Anton's is usually depicted. (Haven't made my design for him sadly. 🥲) Thick black fluffy fur covering his entire lower half alongside his upper arms, side burns to go along with his now long curly mane around the neck and go down the entire back. Goat hooves replacing his toes while his fingers are replaced for razor sharp claws.
Can't forget the Oni like fangs, serpent like tongue, long spade ending obsidian tail or black with yellow slit eyes. There are differences though as some of Ren's demon form take after Arséne/Satanael. Mainly two pairs of black feathery bat wings and large horns highlighted in glowing red fiery markings.
His friends than just obvious enemies freaked out while Ren is just screaming 'FINALLY' in his head. (The boy been trying to awaken it with some help from his four year old pink little hedgehog sister.) Other than being a 10 ft(human)/12 ft(toon) devil, Ren's personality remains mostly the same except for a touch of very affectionate puppy.
This form isn't restricted by the Velvet Room Contract as it hadn't been awake at the time. Poor Sojiro since Demon Ren is a pouncing hugger when he gets the zoomies and is HEAVY. He's also a cuddler with a steel grip so good luck with that.
Ren's demon heritage does give some credibility to his other world story. It isn't the toon part although Haru still believes him. Speaking of that, Anton wasn't happy either when Ren vanished.
How he disappears is a bit different from the original version. It been out of hatred by someone hates Peppino and Anton so malicious intent remains as the main motive. Ren still punches Shido's lights out alongside camping outside Leblanc.
Anton goes after Satan thinking he's responsible while Peppino is stuck dealing with the events of Pizza Tower. Both reunite at the final Palace in Royal and help beat up Ren's former councilor. Anton is bringing in his hammer from his new demolition job.
The Golden Pizza Cutter is joined with a Silver Hammer which summons the construction worker alongside his coworker Annie. Both are heavy hitters that prioritize in striking large groups and can shatter Physical resistances with their hammer/mace. The Thieves' Den also comes with an additional mode called Ballbreaker.
A combination of Anton's sewer adventure in Anton Ball and the game's Punchball Tournament mode. Though Pops is banned from both. He had a large problem in the past that took time to get rid of. Peppino rather not fix up his pizzeria and ban his husband again.
Anton was definitely ecstatic when he found out Ren gotten his demon form. The two absolutely roughhouse like that, often dragging a reluctant Arséne into the mayhem. It's usually done away from Peppino's Pizzeria as they rather not cause the pizza chef more trouble with repairs. Anton is a bad influence on the Phantom Thieves.
He indulges in the chaotic antics with Johanna, Zorro and Goemon usually reigning him in than just the teenagers. Anton absolutely let them join in on a few shifts at his job cause why not? Getting to wreck old abandoned buildings is a nice stress reliever for humans, half demons and Persona.
Plus he can give Ren his late Christmas present. Considering Anton uses a giant hammer while Annie has a mace, he thought his son deserved his own tool of destruction. Thus Ren becomes the proud owner to a anchor sized pickaxe! Good thing Brulo added an enchantment so he could wield it in his non-toon form.
Rip the Shadows when Ren brings out his new weapon. I don't know what's worse. Being stabbed by a knife, shot in the face, or bludgeon via giant pickaxe. Although all three can happen at the same knowing how much of a chaos agent Ren is.
Anton definitely took meeting the Persona a lot better than Peppino. If he isn't trying to cheat at Tycoon, then he indulges in an game of arm wrestling or pool. No tables were harmed when Anton went against Zorro. (Complete lie as they shattered one to splinters just like that one match with Peppino.)
He loves the insane things the Phantom Thieves get into. Anton got a translated replica of their Calling Cards and figurines from the Thieve's Den Palace Maker. He was over the moon when Futaba gave him a video recording about the time his son summoned a demon lord to kill a god on Christmas Eve.
Overall Anton ramps up the shenanigans into a chaotically explosive cocktail. Hope he doesn't overdo it as Sojiro won't hesitate to ban him from Leblanc. And Coffee Dad is armed with One Shot Medjed for extra incentive.

Special Episode: No Time to Noise
This time the Noise has really outdid himself this time creating the most elaborate and dangerous prank trap for the 100th episode of NTV specifically for Peppino.
Unfortunately Peppino actually got the drop on him for change and decided to punch him The Noise right into the trap he was setting up. Cue a series of painful slapstick violence as Peppino walks off to continue his day and the Noise comes out somehow completely fine.
That is until the Grim Reaper shows up albeit very late he was caught in traffic and warns the Noise that not only has he come for his soul but that his soul is headed straight down to hell (they can’t directly say it due to censors but they get pretty close) with a familiar looking Satan waiting him.
The Noise pleads for another chance and so the Grim Reaper decides that if the Noise can do 100 good deeds before midnight then he’ll get another chance at life. Now cue a series of The Noise doing 100 generous yet sometimes humiliating good deeds such as helping an old lady get across the street, rescue a bunch of dogs from a shelter or read stories to kids at an orphanage.
Finally 99 deeds done with one final deed and that’s to simply say “I’m sorry to Peppino” somehow this is the most hardest task for him and rather than just simply say sorry he decides to come up with complex ways to say sorry none of which works on Peppino and actually just makes him even more angry. Finally the bell rings midnight and the Noise’s time is up.
Satan and the Grim Reaper comes to take Noise away. Noise begs for more time and Peppino who’s now witnessing all of this decides to vouch for more time I mean he hates the Noise but he doesn’t want him literally dead and burning in Hell.
Satan declines more time but decides a compromise if the Noise can gives to Satan the soul of the person he loves the most then he’ll let him go. Peppino tries to say that there’s no way Noise would ever accept that terrible offer only for the Noise to immediately accept the offer and tells Satan to take Noisette instead of him. Satan agrees grabs Noisette and teleports back to hell.
Peppino is appalled at his decision saying this is the worst thing he’s ever done only for Satan to return and gives Noisette back cause he found her too annoying and her food made all his demons sick. He then decides that Noisette being with the Noise is already a punishment worse than Hell and leaves allowing for the Noise to live another day. So everyone has a hearty laugh at the end only for it to end when the Reaper warns that the Noise will die in a accident involving a skateboard and stairs.
After credits scene gag involves Satan picking up the phone and it’s Noisette on the line continue her long annoying conversation as Satan sighs in frustration.

Who could eat Noisette’s cooking and survive ?
Noisette's cooking...
Peppino: He'd live, but he'd be hospitalized for a day or two.
Gustavo: He'd live, but he'd get a horrible tummy ache.
Mr. Stick: He would die for sure.
Pepperman: He'd live, but he'd be in the ICU.
The Vigilante: He'd live but he'd be stuck in the bathroom for a while.
The Noise: He's built up a tolerance to it at this point. It used to make him sick a lot, but after eating it for so long as to not hurt her feelings, his body can handle it.
Noisette: Ironically, she doesn't eat her cooking unless it's something normal.
Fake Peppino: He loves her food. He'll eat anything, though.
Pizzahead: He would live... But not very well.
Pillar John: He'll eat anything. He would eat her cooking and survive.
Gerome: He's smart enough NOT to eat her cooking. However, if he did, he'd be fine.

Think about it this way peppino. If you go in sick, customers will say “ew” and not eat there. So even if you go in you still won’t be able to afford your mortgage.
Tumblr media
Dun' worry, I'm not leaving this house for a while.
It's tough love, but Oni really smartened me up back there. No one go hard on it, alright? His weird heart's in the right place.

Pizza Tower Headcanons: The Noise
I think it’s about time to share more headcanons, this time looking at everyone’s favorite off brand mascot, The Noise ^^. I've been thinking about this creacher:tm: a lot recently, so I have a lot to say. Headcanons under the read more
So, this first one does have some Sugary Spire influence, but I think The Noise is genderfluid. It takes him a really long time to figure it out though. I think after seeing Peppino's top surgery scars enough or Peppino passing up on an opportunity to go toe to toe with Theo finally causes The Noise to work up the courage to ask Peppino how he knew he was trans. Since, seeing those things in the first place is what got The Noise to revaluate his identity in the first place.
Before meeting Peppino, The Noise tried really hard to suppress the feminine part of her identity. I also think this is where part of their anger towards Noisette comes from; he's jealous that Noisette gets to be unabashedly feminine while he feels like he can only be masculine because "that's how men are" (and Noise struggles with the nature of their fluidity identity and feels like a freak for wanting to be referred to in more feminine terms sometimes). Though, I think through encouragement from Noisette and Peppino, Noise starts experimenting more with her identity and starts to become more comfortable to it. Noise becoming more secure in their gender identity really patches things up in his relationship with Noisette : )
Eventually, Noise gets to the point where they'll use a colored patch to single how they want to be addressed that day- blue for he/him, pink for she/her, and orange for they/them. Despite how much Peppino wants to wring his neck, he'll always insult them respectfully and follow the patch code (once he learns it).
Noise truly does love and care for Noisette. On camera the whole "wife bad" angle is mostly played up "for laughs" and Noise doesn't really like doing those bits. Though, they both understand it's just part of the job. This isn't to say they never fight or argue, they absolutely do. Though, Noise gets a bit prickly when people start implying he doesn't care for Noisette at all
The Noise is the only one allowed to bully Peppino. He will drag Peppino through the mud and rake him over the coals. But the moment someone else bullies Peppino and The Noise isn't involved? There's gonna be problems
That being said, Noise is a born troublemaker. She loves causing chaos and mischief and problems for others on purpose and will only really apologize if someone seems legitimately offended by it. For example, he knows pretending to be dead and most explosive based pranks are off the table with Peppino since it will cause him to spiral and disassociate for the rest of the day.
I don't ship Noise and Peppino, but I do think they have a very interesting relationship in the sense that they are always at each other's throats but if someone else is threatening them, they'd go up to bat for the other. They want each other dead, but only by their hands. And, when once is legitimately having a problem, the other is there to support them through it.
While The Noise is canonically Mexican, I do think the idea of him being unable to handle spicy foods is funny. He vastly prefers sweets to savory foods, and also enjoys British food like fish n chips and tea (with extra milk and sugar). He got real sick of pizza after getting a gig marketing it, but it pays too good for him to stop. Tequila is just water to him, but he can't stand any form of dry wine and doesn't understand how Peppino or even Noisette does it.
Noise does not have a very broad palette when it comes to food and is a picky eater. This contrasts with Noisette, who has a very broad palette and will eat nearly anything once
Noise is very short, like 5'3" and that's part of what makes him such a good acrobat- low center of gravity. Peppino likes hanging out with her because it makes him (5'6") seem tall in comparison
I could easily picture The Noise having a similar personality to Scout from TF2
Like all the other Pizza Tower bosses, I think Noise was some how manipulated into working for Pizzahead. Probably promises of riches or fame or something, honestly I don't think Noise would be that difficult to manipulate. I could see him working with Pizzahead prior to the construction of the Tower though. Perhaps it was Pizzahead who gave Noise the mascot gig in the first place.
I think Noise is human, but I do love all the depictions of Rat Noise, they are fantastic
